Amanda Knox maintained her innocence on Tuesday, dismissing the legal reasoning released by an Italian appeals court that reinstated her conviction for murdering her British roommate in 2007.

"I have stated from the beginning of this long ordeal that I am innocent of the accusations against me," Knox said in a statement released by her Seattle spokesman. "I was found innocent by the only court in Italy that retained independent forensic experts to review my case. I want to state again today what I have said throughout this process: I am innocent of the accusation against me, and the recent motivation document does not – and cannot – change the fact of my innocence."

A trial court convicted Knox, a Seattle native, and her then-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito in the stabbing death of Meredith Kercher. Kercher, like Knox, was a college student studying in Italy. The two women were roommates in Perugia, Italy.

A higher court then acquitted Knox and Sollecito. On January, a second appeals court reinstated the convictions.

That court released its findings on Tuesday, saying, among other things, that Knox delivered the fatal blow, that there were multiple people involved in the attack and that Knox and Kercher had argued in their time together. Still, the court concluded in its so-called motivation document that the physical evidence was overwhelming enough that no clear motive for the murder was needed.

Knox expressed confidence that her appeal of this latest court decision will be a victory in her favor.

"I will now focus on pursuing an appeal before the Italian Supreme Court. I remain hopeful that the Italian courts will once again recognize my innocence. I want to thank once again, from the bottom of my heart, all of those—family, friends, and strangers—who have supported me and believe in my innocence."

Knox questioned the court's findings on Tuesday say it "does not -- and cannot -- change the foresnic evidence."

She said her DNA was not found in Kercher's bedroom but Rudy Guede's was. Guede is serving a 16-year sentence for Kercher's death.

"This forensic evidence directly refutes the multiple-assailant theory found in the new motivation document. This theory is not supported by any reliable forensic evidence.

She also noted that the kitchen knife suspected to be murder weapon was found by experts to carry neither her blood or DNA.

"And the recent motivation document does not – and cannot – identify any legitimate motive for my alleged involvement in this terrible crime.

"No fewer than three motives have been previously advanced by the prosecution and by the courts. Each of these theories was as unsupported as the purported motive found in the new motivation document, and each of these alleged motives was subsequently abandoned by the prosecution or the courts. Like the prior 'motives,' the latest "motive" in the new motivation document is not supported by any credible evidence or logic. There is simply no basis in the record or otherwise for this latest theory."
